Thanks. Hmm, this is strange. One thing I notice is that it's trying to load things from JDK6 (and for solaris at that). Have you tried running it under JDK6? Personally, I build with a local patch that makes JDK7 the default (normally JDK6 is default). So maybe it's as simple as making sure the right JDK is used? Googled around a bit about this and found: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155892 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2008-July/thread.html http://playground.teerapap.net/2011/08/visualvm-on-ubuntulucid-failed-to.html https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/visualvm/+bug/577958 So you're definitely not the only one to encounter this type of issue, although none of those seem to indicate a resolution. The last two in particular make me wonder if building from source would help. The VisualVM port isn't building VisualVM from source, it's just repackaging the zip file from visualvm.java.net. We could build from source if needed. Source is here: https://java.net/projects/visualvm/sources/svn/show The only copy of the libprofilerinterface.so file I can find is in the netbeans package, but only versions for Solaris, Mac, etc. None for FreeBSD. Perhaps we would get it if we built VisualVM from source. Steve
